TO
SAN FRANCISCO AND YICINITY.
HISTORICAL SKETCH.
The city of San Francisco is situated on the west shore
of the bay from which it derives its name, in latitude 37"
47' 35", longitude 122*' 26' 15 ". It occupies the terminal
portion of a peninsula, extending in a north-westerly
direction from the mainland, lashed on the westT>y the
long, swelling billows of the Paciiic Ocean, and rippled on
the east by the smooth waters of the bay. The city and
county extend from bay to ocean, four and one-half
miles in average width, and six and one-half miles in
length. The harbor is a beautiful sheet of water, about
forty-five miles in length and eight miles in average
width, affording safe anchorage at all times. Its entrance,
the far-famed Golden Gate, is a strait about five miles in
length and two miles in average width. Vessels can enter
"^ith ease and safety, and the depth of water is sufficient
for the largest craft. Soon after the founding of the Mis-
sion of San Diego by the Franciscan Friars, an expedi-
tion, under the command of Cai^tain Portola, the first
Governor of California, and Friar Juan Crespi, was dis-
patched from that point for the purpose of establishing
a mission on the bay of Monterey. Having by mistake
passed the object of their search, they continued their
10 GUIDE TO SAN FRAXCISCO AND VICIXITY.
march in a northerly direction, and on the 7th of Novem-
ber, 1769, discovered the bay of San Francisco. In 1775, a
vessel called the San Carlos, commanded by Lieutenant
Ayala, was dispatched from Monterey to ascertain if an
entrance to the bay could be effected, and in August of
that year passed through what is now called the Golden
Gate. This is the first vessel of which we have any
authentic record to cast anchor in the bay of San Fran-
cisco, although it is claimed by some historians that the
bay was entered by Sir Francis Drake, in 1579, during his
voyage along the coast. The first permanent settlement
of white men on the shores of the bay was made in June,
1776, by an expedition from Monterey, under Friars Fran-
cisco Palou and Benito Cambon, accompanied by several
settlers with their families, and a detachment of soldiers,
under the command of Don Jose Moraga, who established
a military post at what is now known as the Presidio Res-
ervation. In October following, the Mission Dolores was
founded., and about this time, a few adobe buildings were
erectecrnear the shore of the bay. and the settlement
named Yerba Buena, after an aromatic herb of that name
which grew in great abundance on the surrounding hills.
The missionaries immediately entered upon their arduous
labors with great zeal, and made preparations for the
erection of a church, which was subsequently completed,
and which still stands on what is now known as the cor-
ner of Dolores and Sixteenth Streets. For many years
the few inhabitants of this then remote quarter of the
globe led a secluded life, the only means of communica-
tion with the outside world being the occasional arrival
of a trading vessel for a cargo of hides and tallow, or a
whaling ship in search of wood and water. In 1822 Cal-
ifornia became a Mexican territory, and from that time
the commerce of the port gradually increased, hides, tal-
low, and grain being the principal exports. In 1835 Wil-
liam A. Richardson, an Englishman who had settled at
Saucelito a few years previous, was appointed Captain of
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 11
the Port. He removed to this side of the bay, and erected
near the beach a primitive abode composed of a frame of
posts covered with canvas. During the same year an
election was held, in conformity with the laws of Mexico
for the establishment and government of pueblos, and J.
J. Estudillo chosen Alcalde. In June, 1836, Jacob P.
Leese, an American who had been engaged in mercantile
pursuits at Los Angeles, arrived for the purpose of estab-
lishing a store. He obtained from the Alcalde a grant for
a hundred-vara lot on what is now known as the south-
west corner of Dupont and Clay Streets, and immediately
erected a wooden building, which was the first structure
worthy of being called a house built on the site of the
future city. On the Pourth of July, Mr. Leese christened
his new habitation by a ball and banquet, wliich was
attended by all the prominent American and Mexican res-
idents. A band of music enlivened the scene, flags ob-
tained from the vessels in the harbor decorated the
rooms, and two cannons from the Presidio were utilized
to fire salutes during the day and evening. In 1838 Mr.
Leese erected a large wooden building on what is now
the corner of Montgomery and Commercial Streets, which
he subsequently sold to the Hudson Bay Co. During
the same year, Captain W. A. Richardson erected an
adobe building on Dupont Street, between Clay and
"Washington, and another adobe was built by Senora
Briones on the north-east corner of Filbert and Powell
Streets. On the 15th of April, 1838, Mrs. Leese gave birth
to a daughter, which was the first child of white parentage
born in Yerba Buena. The first survey of the town was
made by Captain Juan Vioget, in 1839, covering the
ground now included within the boundaries of Sacra-
mento, Pacific, Montgomery, and Dupont Streets. In
1844, the town, which then contained about fourteen
houses and fifty or sixty inhabitants, began to attract
the attention of adventurous Americans, and from that
date the population increased more rapidly. The war
12 GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.
Willi Mexico broke out in 1846, and on the 8th of July
of that year Captain Montgomery, of the U. S. sloop of
war Portsmouth, took formal possession of the town,
hoisting the stars and stripes on the plaza now known
as Portsmouth Square; and soon after, Washington A.
Bartlett, a lieutenant on the Portsmouth, was appointed
Alcalde. Among the notable events of the year was the
arrival, on the last day of July, of the ship Brooklyn,
with upwards of two hundred emigrants, principally Mor-
mons, under the leadership of Samuel Brannan. This
vessel may be considered the vanguard of a fleet of ships
which soon after commenced to arrive from all parts of
the world, crowded with adventurous spirits seeking a
fortune in the Golden West. On the 7th of January, 1847,
Mr. Brannan issued the first number of the California
Star. This was the second newspaper published in the
territory, one called the Californian having been started
at Monterey in August, 1846. On the 30th of January,
an ordinance was issued by the Alcalde, directing that
the name of the town be changed from Yerba Buena to
San Francisco. Another important event of the year 1847
was the arrival, on the 6th of [March, of the ship Thomas
H. Perkins, from New York, with the first detachment of
a regiment of volunteers, under the command of Col. J.
D. Stevenson. At an election held on tlie 13th of Sep-
tember, six prominent citizens were chosen as members
of a council to assist the Alcalde in the administration of
the government. The number of votes polled was about
two hundred. They held their first meeting, and entered
upon their duties, on the 16th of the same month. At
the close of the year 1847 the town contained about eight
hundred inhabitants, sixty of whom were children of
proper age to attend school. The commerce of the port
had also rapidly increased, the exports during the last
quarter of the year amounting to about 853,000, and the
imports somewhat less than that sum. Tlie discovery
of gold, wliich began to attract the attention of the cit-

izens early in 1848, was the dawn of an era of prosper-
ity which was to metamorphose the embryo nucleus
into the beautiful city of the present. In the place of
sand hills we now see massive, handsome, and impos-
ing buildings and blocks, and the sandy plains have
been transformed into gardens which diffuse fragrant
odor from flowers in perpetual bloom. The incorpor-
ation as a city was effected in May, 1850, and the con-
solidation of the city and county governments, in July,
1856. Its rapid growth to the city of magnificent pro-
portions and commanding importance of to-day is a
marvel of wonder and a rare instance of the giant possi-
bilities of human energy and American enterprise. The
population according to the census of 1880 was 233,956. It
is the chief commercial metropolis and emporium of the
Pacific coast, and with its vast natural resources, broad
avenues of trade, and the commerce of the world knock-
ing at its doors, its continued growth and prosperity is
assured. The climate is mild and healthful, a very even
temperature being maintained throughout the year. The
city proper occupies the north-east portion of the penin-
sula. From the top of Telegraph Hill, the extreme
north-eastern point, a grand and picturesque view is ob-
tained. Southward the city spreads out in a sea of build-
ings, intersected with streets teeming with life and
animation of business bustle and confusion, from which
the eye wanders in relief to the surrounding scene of
harbor, with numerous craft of steam and sail riding
gracefully on its placid surface; islands standing out in
bold relief; the romantic oak-shaded nooks and hamlets
around the shores, overlooked by green-carpeted hills;
the Golden Gate, through which the waters of the Pacific
flood and ebb ; and still beyond, the vast expanse of ocean.
It is regularly laid out, the streets crossing each other at
right angles. Elegant and palatial residences, with tasti-
ly laid-out grounds, adorn the city, and handsome and
substantial structures grace the business thoroughfares.
14 OriDE TO SAX FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.
In the suburbs are beautiful parks and gardens for pleas-
ure resort, and points of interest to delight the eye of the
sight-seeker. Golden Gate Park, the most prominent one,
covers a large area of ground, beautifully laid out with
walks, drives, and gardens, containing flowers and plants
of every description and variety, trees and shubbery, hot-
houses, conservatories, etc. A tine ocean view is obtained
at the "Cliff," which is reached by an excellent drive.
The numbers of seal to be seen on the rocks a short dis-
tance from the shore form an object of attraction at this
resort. The public buildings, notably the City Hall,
Mint, Appraiser's Building, and Sub-Treasury Building,
compare favorably with any in the larger cities of the
Union. The public school system is a pride of the city,
and is not to be excelled by any in the United States.
There are also a large number of private schools and col-
legiate institutions of high character. Churches of all
denominations, creed, and sect are maintained, and secret,
benevolent, and social societies of every order and nature
have been organized. The public libraries will bear com-
parison with any in the older cities. The Free Library,
recently established, is a credit and ornament to the city.
It has commodious rooms lighted with electric light, and
promises, in number of volumes and completeness of ap-
pointment, to rival any in the Union. A Chamber of
Commerce and Board of Trade are established, and three
Stock Exchanges, a Produce Exchange, and a Grain
Exchange are among the institutions of the city. In
manufacturing industry all the various branches are rep-
resented. Iron and brass foundries, smelting works,
woolen and flour mills, wire and cordage factories, glass-
works, sugar refineries, canneries, ship-yards, etc. A
network of street railroads afford cheap transit in every
direction. Six of these are wire cable roads— a feature of
the city, and a model mode oi public conveyance. Two
gas companies supply the city with gas, and night is
turned into day by the subtlety of electric fluid supplied
GUIDE TO SAN FKAN'CISCO A>T) VICrSITY. 15
by the Electric Light Company. Excellent water is dis-
tributed throughout the city for domestic and city pur-
poses by the Spring Valley ^'ater Company. Eapid
communication is maintained by the aid of the telegraph
and telephone. The fire department, which includes a
telegraph fire-alarm, is a model of perfection, unsurpassed
b y any in the world. A Fire Patrol is also maintained
by the Board of Underwriters. The commerce of the city
is rapidly increasing. The value of imports for the year
1882, including S2,420,606 by rail, amounted to $46,769,151
against 340,433,675 for 1881, being an increase of $6,335,476.
The value of merchandise exports during the same pe-
riod, exclusive of that shipped by rail, amounted to S55,-
752,428 against $53,664,352 for 1881, being an increase of
$2,088,076. The value of treasure exports amounted to
$10,382,304. The public is informed of the current news of
the day by newspapers published in the English, Ger-
man, French, Spanish, Scandinavian, Italian, and Chi-
nese languages. Communication is maintained with bay
and river points by ferries and steamers, and with various
inland towns by rail. Two transcontinental railroads,
the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific, afford rapid
communication with the Eastern States, and several
steamship lines maintain communication with various
ports in California, Oregon, Washington Territory, Alas-
ka, British Columbia, and Mexico; also with Panama,
Honolulu, Hong Kong, Yokohama, Sydney, and Auck-
land.

The first American school in San Francisco was opened
in April, 1847, by a Mr. Marston, with about thirty pupils.
This was a private enterprise, the scholars being charged
for tuition. During the same year an effort was made by
prominent citizens to establish a public school, which re-
sulted in the erection of a school-house on the corner of
Clay Street and Brenham Place. On the 21st of Febru-
ary, 1848, at a meeting called for the purpose, Dr. F.
Fourgeaud, J. Serrine, AV. H. Davis, Dr. J. Townsend, and
C. L. Ross were chosen School Trustees, and on April 3rd
a school was opened under the superintendence of Mr.
Thomas Douglass, a graduate of Yale College. From a
census taken by the Board of Trustees it was ascertained
that the population of the town was about eight hundred,
of which number sixty were children of suitable age to
attend school. During the height of the excitement
occasioned by the favorable reports from the newly dis-
covered gold mines, the school was for a time closed, but
was again opened in December, 1848, under the charge of
William H. Christian, who was succeeded in April, 1849,
by the Rev. Albert Williams. In the fall of 1849, Mr. J.
C. Pelton opened a school in the Baptist Church on
Washington Street, which was sustained partly by vol-
untary contributions until the spring of 1850, when, upon
an application to the City Council for assistance, Mr.

Pelton was allowed for the services of himself and wife a
salary of S500 per month. This sum he continued to
receive until the close of the school in 1851.
The inauguration of the present school system may be
said to date from September, 1851, when the City Council
passed an ordinance dividing the city into seven school
districts, and providing for the establishment of a free
school in each. In October following, Messrs. Charles J.
Brenham, Joseph F. Atwill, Henry E. Lincoln, Charles
L. Eoss, and John Wilson were elected members of the
Board of Education, with power to appoint a Superin-
tendent of Public Schools, at a salary of Sl,200 per annum.
For this position Colonel T. J. Xevins, a gentlemen well
versed in school matters, and who had already done much
for the cause of public education, was selected. He im-
mediately entered upon his arduous duties, and in a few
months succeeded in establishing a school in each dis-
trict. According to the report of the Superintendent for
the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1852, the number of
pupils enrolled was two thousand one hundred and
thirty-tAvo; average daily attendance, four hundred and
forty-five. Since these measures were adopted, a period
of thirty-two years, the public schools have increased in
number and improved in accommodations, in accordance
with the rapid growth of the city; and through the liber-
ality of the citizens in sustaining them, it may be said
that the Public School Department of San Francisco will
to-day compare favorably with that of any city in the
Union. The report of the Superintendent for the fiscal
year ending June 30th, 1882, gives the following statis-
tics: Number of pupils enrolled, forty thousand seven
hundred and fifty-two, of whom twenty-one thousand
four hundred and eighty-five were boys, and nineteen
thousand two hundred and sixty-seven girls. Average
daily attendance, twenty-nine thousand four hundred and
thirty-five. Number of teachers, six hundred and seventy-
five, of whom fifty-nine were males, and six hundred and

from 850 to 8135 per month; evening schools, principals
8135 and assistants 850 per month; substitutes receive
from 82 to S6 per day. In the office of the Board of Edu-
cation are employed a Secretary, two Assistant Secre-
taries, a Bookkeeper, a Storekeeper, and a Messenger, at '
salaries ranging from 8480 to 82,400 per annum.

The report of the Health Officer for the fiscal year end-
ing June 30th, 1882, shows that during the year there were
5,008 deaths against 4,287 of the year preceding. Of these,
527 were Mongolians. Estimating the population at 234,-
520, the annual ratio of deaths per 1,000 population was
21.34 against 18.27 of the preceding year. This large in-

crease in the death rate is attributed to the defective and
disgraceful condition of the sewers.
deferring to the Chinese population, the Health Officer
says: " The overcrowded condition in which these people
live, in their unventilated, underground habitations, the
atmosphere of tlieir rooms reeking with odors arising from
the smoking of opium and tobacco, and other disgusting
effluvia, is the principal factor in producing constitutional
and local diseases; while the ever-present fumes of opium
and tobacco seem to act as disinfectants upon the germs
of zymotic diseases. Every time I visit these under-
ground habitations, 1 am struck with astonishment, not
that a large number of these people die, but that any of
them should live, breathing an atmosphere so stifling and
disgusting."

The disastrous conflagration which occurred on Christ-
mas eve, 1849, destroying 81,000,000 worth of property,
awakened the citizens of San Francisco to the necessity
of establishing a fire department. Early in January,
1850, the Town Council appointed F. D. Kohler Chief En-
gineer, with instructions to immediately organize as
efficient a department as circumstances would permit.
Three small engines belonging to private individuals
were procured, and three companies, known as tlie San
Francisco, Empire, and Protection, at once formed. On
the 4th of May, 1850, the second great fire occurred, de-
stroying property to the amount of nearly 84,000,000; and
on the 14th of June, a still more disastrous one laid almost
the entire business portion of the city in ashes, the loss
being estimated at §5,000,000.
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 25
On the 1st of July an ordinance was passed regularly
organizing the fire department, and making appropria-
tions for the purchase of new apparatus, construction of
cisterns, etc., and in September following the first elec-
tion for Chief Engineer was held, resulting in the success
of F. D. Kohler. On the 17th of this month the fourth
great fire destroyed the buildings on several blocks; loss
about 8500,000. These disasters, following in ^uch rapid
succession, proved the necessity of more ample protection
against the ravages of the fire-fiend; and at the close of
the year 1850, eight engine and two hook and ladder com-
panies had been organized.
On the 4th of May, 1851, occurred the most terrific con-
flagration which San Francisco has ever experienced,
devastating the entire business portion of the city ; about
fifteen hundred buildings were consunied. and several
lives lost. Although the fire department worked with a
heroism worthy of the greatest praise, their efforts were
for a long time of no avail. The loss by this fire was va-
riously estimated at from 88,000,000 to 812.000,000. The
sixth and last great fire of early days broke out on the
22nd of June following, destroying upwards of S3,000,00()
worth of property. From the year 1850 until 1866, when
the volunteer department was disbanded, it had gradu-
ally increased in strength and discipline, and at the latter
date consisted of fourteen engine, three hook and ladder,
and three hose companies, all well manned and equipped.
The paid fire department was organized on the 3rd of
December, 1836, in accordanoe with an act of the legisla-
ture authorizing the formation of six engine, two hook
and ladder, and five hose companies; the force consisting
of one hundred and fifty-six officers and men. The entire
force at present, 18S3. consists of three hundred and three
officers and men; twelve steam fire engines; eight hose
carriages, four hook and ladder trucks, and a fire boat, in
active service, and several steam fire engines and hose
carriages in reserv-e at the corporation yard. The salaries

wire stretched on poles and houses connect the office
with the signal boxes, and with alarm gongs placed in the
different engine, hook and ladder, and hose houses, police
stations, etc. There are eight alarm bells, which are oper-
ated by electrical machinery, the principal one weighing
four thousand five hundred pounds, being located in the
tower of the Fire Alarm office. The signal boxes in use
are both crank and automatic ones, an alarm from the

former being given by turning the crank steadily to the
right forty times without stopping, from the latter by
pulling down the hook once and letting go. In case of
tumult or riot, whereby the services of the police force
are required, the alarm consists of ten strokes upon the
bells and gongs repeated live times.

Fire Patrol.
This valuable auxiliary to the Fire Department was
established in May, 1875, by the Board of Fire Under-
writers, for the purpose of extinguishing incipient confla-
grations, and protecting property from damage by water.
The force consists of fourteen men, including the Captain
and two Lieutenants, a portion of whom are constantly on
watch. When an alarm is given, the celerity with which
they respond is truly remarkable, and well worth witness-
ing. The apparatus consists of light wagons equipped
with rubber and oil-cloth covers, fire extinguishers, and
other necessary appurtenances. The Patrol is divided
into two companies, one being located on the soutli-west
corner of Stevenson and Ecker Streets, and the other on
Grove Street between Larkin and Polk.

instructed in military tactics under command of the
Captains of Police, and when on parade present quite a
soldierly appearance. When on patrol duty they are
armed with a club and revolver. The salaries per annum

MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS.
Old City Hall — One of the landmarks of early days
is a brick building located on Kearny Street between
Washington and Merchant. As the Xew City Hall ap-
proaches completion, the public offices are gradually
being removed to that building, and there now remains
in the old edilice only the following: Sheriff, Fire Com-
missioners and Chief Engineer of the Fire Department,
Police Commissioners, Chief of Police, District Attorney,
Superior Court Xos. 11 and 12, and Police Courts Xos. 1
and 2. In the basement are located the Central Police
Station, City Prison, and City Receiving Hospital.
New City Hall— This building, which when complet-
ed will be the largest and one of the most magnificent of
the kind in the United States, is located on a triangular
plot of ground bounded by McAllister Street, Larkiu
Street, and Park Avenue. The dimensions of the edifice
according to the original plan are eight hundred feet on
Park Avenue, six hundred and fifty feet on McAllister
Street, and five hundred and fifty feet on Larkin Street.
Its construction was commenced in 1871, but owing to a
want of funds the work has at times been suspended. It
is now being completed as rapidly as circumstances will

admit, under the supervision of the Board of Xew City-
Hall Commissioners, composed of the Mayor, Auditor,
and City and County Attorney, who receive for their
services a salary of $1,200 per annum each. The report of
the architect submitted to the commissioners January 20th,
1883, shows the total expenditure up to date to be .?3,365,-
367.82. The cost of completing the building, laying out of
grounds, etc., is estimated at $1,200,000. In the basement
are located the offices of the License Co]lector,Superintend-
ent of Streets, Registrar of Voters, and Commissioners of
Insanity; also the Grand Jury Rooms and a Police Station.
On the first or main floor are the offices of the Mayor,
Auditor, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Assessor, County
Clerk, and New City Hall Commissioners. On the sec-
ond floor are the chambers and office of the Board of
Supervisors, and the Court-rooms of Departments 3, 4, 6,
7, 8, 9, and 10 of the Superior Court. On the third floor
are the offices of the City and County Attorney, Board of
Education, Superintendent of Public Schools, and Sur-
veyor, and the Court-rooms of Departments 1, 2, and 5 of
the Superior Court. The Hall of Records, situated at the
eastern extremity of the City Hall grounds, is a circular
building of fine appearance, surmounted by a dome rising
to a height of one hundred and thirty-four feet. It is
ninety-five feet in external diameter, and connected with
the City Hall by an open arcade.
County Jail— Located on Broadway Street between
Kearny and Dupont, is an old, two-story, brick building,
totally inadequate to accommodate the increasing num-
ber of prisoners. When overcrowded it has been neces-
sary to establish branch jails or remove a portion of the
prisoners to the House of Correction. Visitors are admit-
ted on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, from 11 a. m.
to 2 p. M., on procuring a permit at the Sheriff's office.

built of brick, witb stone foundation, at a cost of about
§125,000. Strict discipline is maintained, and the prison-
ers are compelled to Avork eight hours each day in the
work-shops or on the roads in the Ticinity. During the
fiscal year ending June 30th, 1882, the number of prison-
ers committed was five hundred and fourteen males, and
one hundred and fifty-five females, of whom three hun-
dred and forty-six were foreign born, and three hundred
and twenty-three native born. The total expenses of the
institution for the year was 841,102.55. Visitors are ad-
mitted at any time during the day. Samuel Shear, Su-
perintendent.
Industrial School— This is a reformatory institution
for wayward and ungovernable boys, who are committed
at the request of their parents for leading dissolute lives,
as well as for those arrested and convicted of crime. It
is a two-story brick and stone building with basement,
occupying a pleasant site on the Old San Jose Road, about
five nailes distant from the Xew City Hall, and is sur-
rounded by extensive grounds, used for farming, garden-
ing, or pasturage. The boys are compelled to labor four
hours each day in the work-shops or on the farm; also to
attend school, where they receive instruction in arithme-
tic, reading, spelling, writing, geography, and grammar.
The school hours are from 1 to 3:30 p. m. and from 6: 15
to 7: 30 p. M. daily, except Saturday and Sundays. An
excellent brass band, numbering eighteen boys, under the
charge and tuition of a music teacher, is one of the fea-
tures of the institution. During the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1882, there were committed eighty-nine boys
from eight to nineteen years of age, and forty-six girls
from eleven to seventeen years of age. The girls are
immediately transferred to the Magdalen Asylum, an
institution under the charge of the Sisters of Mercy,
located on Potrero Avenue. Visitors are admitted at
any time during the day. J. F. McLaughlin, Superin-
tendent.

MILITARY POSTS AND FORTIFICATIONS.
Alcatraz Island — Situated about two miles north-
west of Telegraph Hill, is strongly fortified, and com-
mands the entrance to the harbor. It rises abruptly from
the waters of the bay to a height of over one hundred
feet, and is almost destitute of vegetation, the surface
being principally solid rock. On the summit of the island
is a massive, three-story brick citadel, in which reside the
commander of the post and other officers. In addition to
44 GUIDE TO SAX FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.
the buildings occupied by the garrison is a military prison
built of brick and stone, where are confined prisoners
from different parts of the Military Division of the Pa-
cific, who are mostly serving sentences for desertion or
drunkenness. The fortifications comprise earthworks of
a formidable character, the armament consisting of guns
of large caliber, mounted in embrasures facing the Gold-
en Gate and Angel Island. On the side of the island
facing the city is a park of small artillery, used at present
for saluting purposes. The steamer General McPherson
leaves Washington Street wharf for Alcatraz, Angel
Island, Fort Mason, and Fort Winfield Scott daily, ex-
cept Saturdays, at G : 05 a. m. and 4 : 15 p. m. On Saturdays
at 6:05 a. m., 1:30 and 3 p. m. Special trip Mondays and
Thursdays at 11 a. m. Visitors must obtain a pass at the
office on the wharf before going on board the steamer.
Angel Island— Situated about two miles north of
Alcatraz, is the largest island in the bay, being nearly
three miles long by one mile wide. The military post is
beautifully located in a small valley extending from the
waters' edge to the heights above. The climate of the
island is delightful, it being so situated as to escape the
high winds and heavy fogs so prevalent in the city. It
is a pleasant place of resort, there being fine graveled
walks, and pretty gardens filled with choice flowers and
shrubbery. The United States Government has con-
structed a good road around the island, which is about
eight miles in length, and affords a magnificent drive.
Several living springs furnish an abundant supply of ex-
cellent water. It is said that this place was, in early
days, a favorite rendezvous for Spanish pirates, and at
different times search has been made for treasure sup-
posed to have been buried by them. The fortifications
consist of several batteries, and others are now iu course
of construction. Some quarries of excellent stone for
certain purposes have been worked to a considerable
extent.
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 45
Fort Mason, or Point San Jose— Is a military post
situated on the bay-shore, near the foot of Van Ness Ave-
nue. On the reservation, which comprises thirty-two
acres, are barracks capable of accommodating two compa-
nies of troops. The officers' quarters occupy a pretty site
surrounded by trees and shrubs, and ornamented by beds
of flowers. The fortifications consist of a barbette bat-
tery mounting twelve guns of an old pattern, which
would be of little service in repelling invasion. This lo-
cality is also known as Black Point, a name given it in
early days on account of the dark appearance of the
bushes which then covered the promontory. The cars
running from the corner of Washington Street and Mont-
gomery Avenue pass within a short distance of the en-
trance to the reservation.
Fort Winfield Scott— Formerly called Fort Point, is
situated on the southern shore of the Golden Gate, which
at this point is about two miles wide. It is built of brick
and granite, with three tiers or galleries, each supported
on brick arches. There are ninety casemates, from
which protrude the muzzles of guns of different kinds
and caliber, completely covering the narrow entrance to
the harbor. On the heights above the fort are extensive
earthworks, well calculated, on account of their great
strength and commanding situation, to sucessf ully resist
the attack of a powerful fleet. These works are armed
with several Rodman guns of large caliber, mounted on
carriages, while others lie dismounted upon the ground.
A good road extends from the fort up the hill skirting the
earthworks to the Presidio. A drive over this road
affords a magnificent view of the Golden Gate and Pa-
cific Ocean. On a clear day the Farallon Islands,
twenty-six mUes distant, can be seen. The fort can be
reached by a pleasant drive through California Street to
the corner of Lyon, thence by a road extending northerly
to the Presidio, or by taking the cars which run from the
corner of Washington Street and Montgomery Avenue to
46 GUIDE TO SAX FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.
the Presidio barracks, thence by a short walk through
the reservation.
Presidio — This is a United States military reservation,
embracing a large area of ground, bounded on the north
by the waters of the bay, and on the west by the Pacific
Ocean. It was first occupied as a military post in 1776,
by a detachment of Spanish troops under the command
of Don Jose Moraga, who accompanied Friars Francisco
Palou and Benito Cambon on their expedition from
Monterey to establish the Mission Dolores. Three flags,
the Spanish, Mexican, and American, have successively
floated over it. It is the headquarters of the Commander
of the Military Division of the Pacific. On the west side
of the j)arade ground are the officers' quarters, consisting
of a row of pretty cottages surrounded by gardens and
green lawns, presenting an attractive appearance. Near
at hand are other cottages occupied by privates and their
families, and also barracks capable of accommodating a
large number of troops. In tlie southern portion of the
reservation is located the United States Marine Hospital.
It can be reached by a good road extending from the
corner of California and Lyon Streets, or by cars which
leave every few minutes from the corner of \Yashington
Street and Montgomery Avenue.

California State Mining Bureau.
Established by an act of the legislature approved April
16th, 1880. The objects of the Bureau as set forth in the
act are as follows :
GUIDE TO SAX FRANCISCO A>'D VICINITY. 49
There sliall be and is hereby establislied in this State a
Mining Bureau, the principal office of which shall be
maintained in the City of San Francisco, at which place
there shall be collected by the State Mineralogist, and
preserved for study and reference, specimens of all the
geological and mineralogical substances, including min-
eral waters found in this State, especially those possessing
economic or commercial value, which specimens shall be
marked, arranged, classified, and described, and a record
thereof preserved, showing the character thereof and the
place from whence obtained. The State Mineralogist
shall also, as he has opportunity and means, collect, and
in like manner preserve at said office, minerals, rocks,
and fossils of other States, Territories, and countries, and
the collections so made shall at all reasonable hours be
open to public inspection, examination, and study. In
addition to the collection, classification, arranging, and
preservation of specimens, it shall be the duty of the
State Mineralogist to make analytical assays as required;
and when the funds in the Mining Bureau Fund are suf-
ficient therefor, to provide and maintain a library of
works on mineralogy, geology, and mining; to arrange in
cases such specimens as he may collect : to procure and
preserve models and drawings of mining machinery, and
of milling machinery used in the reduction of ores; and
obtain and preserve for public inspection and use such
information respecting improvements in mining and min-
ing machinery as will be of practical value to the people
of this State.
It is desired to make the ethnology of the Pacific Coast
a feature of the Museum. All Indian relics, recent or
prehistoric, will find a place, and their collection will no
doubt throw much light on the ancient history of the State.
The Bureau commences with a large and valuable do-
nation of ores, rocks, fossils, reports, books, etc., the en-
tire collection and property of the State Geological Society.

SEA-WALL.
Up to this date, April, 1883, there has been completed
4,561 feet of sea-wall 200 feet in width, including live sec-
tions, extending from Front Street to a point near the
intersection of Powell and Jefferson Streets. The total
cost of the five sections has been $894,671.56, or 6196.15 per
lineal front foot. On the inner side of the wharf-facing
of Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4, a macadam roadway has been
constructed of the length of 4,000 feet, and of a width of
40 feet. This was necessary for the purpose of travel, as
the wharf-facing is exclusively devoted to the loading
and discharging the freight of vessels. The construction
of these sections has greatly relieved the pressure for room
at the other wharves, and much of the grain business has
been transferred to Sections 1 and 2, which are covered by
a shed 2,000 feet in length by 100 feet in width. The reg-
ulations of the Board of Harbor Commissioners in regard
to the use of these sections and shed have proved a great
convenience to the grain interests. Grain is landed there
at a toll of five cents per ton, and is allowed to remain
under the shed fifteen days without further charge, for
removal or reshipment.

WATER WORKS.
The city is furnished with an abundant supply of excel-
lent water by the Spring Valley Water Works. The
principal source of supply is the peninsula, where the
company controls a watershed of about twenty-eight
square miles. The water from this shed is collected in
three storage reservoirs, viz., the Pilarcitos, the San An-
dreas, and the Crystal Springs, which will hold in the
aggregate 12,000,000,000 gallons. From these the water is
conducted in iron pipes thirty-six inches in diameter to
the Lake Honda and College Hill reservoirs, and from
thence to three distributing reservoirs in the city, viz.,
the Clay Street, Francisco Street, and Russian Hill.
From the distributing reservoirs the water flows through
cast-iron pipes, varying in diameter from sixteen inches
to four inches. The company also obtain from Lobos
Creek about 2,000,000 gallons daily. If during very dry
seasons an additional supply is needed, it can be obtained
from Lake Merced by means of pumping works. The
company have also acquired water rights in Calaveras
Valley, and from this source can increase their supply so
as to enable them to furnish a sufficient quantity of
water for 5,000,000 inhabitants, it having a watershed of
about two hundred and fifty square miles, which is the
next nearest source of supply to its present works that
exists. Office, 516 California Street.

CHURCHES.
From the founding of the Mission Dolores in the year
1776, until the year 1849, the only house of worship
erected on the site of San Francisco was the old adobe
edifice which still stands on the corner of Sixteenth and
Dolores Streets. The first step taken to establish a Prot-
estant Church was in 1846, when a religious society, com-
posed of the members of several families, was organized
through the exertions of the Eev. W. Roberts of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The next movement in
this direction was in May, 1847, when a meeting was
called for the i^urpose of organizing a religious congrega-
tion, and erecting a place of worship. But little, how-
ever, was accomplished by those interested in this work
until 1849, when the following churches were organized,
viz. : First Methodist Episcopal, First Presbyterian, First
Baptist, First Congregational, and two Episcopalian, the
Trinity and Grace. During the year there was also or-
ganized another Eoman Catholic Church, called the St.
Francis. At the present time almost every denomina-
tion known throughout the civilized world is represented
by one or more places of worship, some of which will in
size and beauty compare favorably with many in larger
cities. Among the latter may be mentioned the First
Congregational, Calvary Presbyterian, Grace Cathedral,
First Unitarian, St. Ignatius, St. Patrick's, and the Syn-
agogue of Congregation Emanu-El.

CEMETERIES.
Four of the cemeteries of San Francisco are situated in
the immediate vicinity of Lone Mountain, a high peak
near the intersection of Geary Street and Central Avenue.
Among these is Laurel Hill, occupying a picturesque site
on an elevated plateau overlooking the bay and ocean.
It is beautifully laid out with pleasant walks lined with
natural shrubbery, and wide carriage-ways winding
among its miniature hills and valleys. Many of the
tombs and monuments are elegant in design, and sur-
rounded by beautiful green lawns, shrubs, and flowers.
Near by are the Calvary, Masonic, and Odd Fellows
cemeteries, which are also tastefully laid out, and contain
92
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITT.
handsome monuments erected to the memory of the de-
parted. These may all be reached by either the Geary
Street, Sutter Street, California Street, or Central R. R.
cars. The Mission Dolores churchyard on Dolores Street
near Sixteenth, which was consecrated by the founders
of the Mission, and first used as a burial place one hun-
dred and seven years ago, is an interesting spot to visit.

and Sherith Israel on Dolores Street between Eighteenth
and Twentieth, may be reached by the Market Street cars.
The Golden Gate or City Cemetery is situated west of
Thirty-third Avenue near the termination of Point Lobos
Avenue. In addition to the ground reserved by the city,
it contains many lots which have been granted for burial
purposes to various benevolent societies. The cars of the

officers and soldiers of the U. S. Army.

COLLEGES AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
Notwithstanding the number and excellence of the
public schools of San Francisco, there are in addition to
these upwards of one hundred institutions of learning,
ranging in size and character from the small private
school to the large and well-appointed college. Some of
these are in a very flourishing condition, and afford to the
rising generation ample facilities for acquiring a thorough
and finished education. The number of pupils attending
private and Church Schools (not including Chinese), as
reported by the Census Marshals in June, 1882, was five
thousand five hundred and eighty-nine. Following will
be found the names and location of the different colleges :

NEWSPAPERS.
The pioneer paper of San Francisco, called the Califor-
nia Star, was first issued as a weekly by Samuel Brannan
on the 7th of January, IMl. In May following, another
paper, called the Californian, was established by Mr. Sem-
ple. This, the pioneer journal of the Territory, had, since
August, 1846, been published at Monterey. In 1848 these
two papers were consolidated, under the name of the Star
and Californian, which title was retained until January,
1849, when it became the Alta California. On January
22nd, 1850, the latter was issued as a daily, and on the
following morning another daily, called the Journal of
Commerce, made its first appearance. During the year
four more were established; viz., the Pacific News, Even-
ing Picayune, Herald, and Courier. These were followed
by others in rapid succession, some of which had but a
short-lived existence. At the present time the number of
daily and weekly papers and periodicals published in the
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 95
city amount to about one hundred and forty. The daily
papers are the Alta California, Chronicle, Daily Ex-
change, Daily Report, Evening Bulletin, Evening Post,
Examiner, Morning Call, and three in foreign languages,
viz., the Abend Post and California Demokrat in Ger-
man, and the Courrier de San Francisco in French. Be-
sides these, there ai-e two daily dramatic papers, and a
law journal. The weeklies and monthlies embrace many
excellent papers and magazines, severally devoted to the
interests of religion, benevolence and fraternity, temper-
ance, science, commerce and trade, agriculture, mining,
etc. The papers published wholly or partly in foreign
languages include eight German, two French, four He-
brew, three Spanish, two Italian, one Portuguese, one
Swiss, one Swedish, one Scandinavian, and three Chinese.
HOTELS.
Several of the hotels of San Francisco are unsurpassed
for elegance, comfort, and completeness of appoint-
ment, and will compare favorably with the first-class
hotels of any city in the world. The Palace, occupying
the entire block bounded by Market, New Montgomery,
Jessie, and Annie Streets, is a gigantic structure seven
stories in height, covering nearly two and a quarter acres
of ground. It contains about eight hundred rooms, all
elegantly furnished and supplied with every modern con-
venience. Equal to the Palace in every respect except in
size are The Baldwin, Occidental, Lick, and Grand, all
centrally located on prominent streets. The prices
charged for accommodations are about the same at each,
varying from three to five dollars a day according to the
size and location of rooms. Persons desiring less expens-
ive quarters can find many excellent hotels, where the
prices vary from one dollar and a half to two dollars and
a half per day. Among these are the Euss, Commercial,
Brooklyn, Ahlborn, International, Prescott, etc. In addi-
96 OriDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITT.

on the principal thoroughfares where nicely furnished
suites or single rooms may be hired by the week or month,

tels, there are also several salt-water and swimming
baths. Of these, three are located on the bay-shore near

between Broderick and Lott, embraces an area of thirty.
SIX acres. It occupies a site commanding a fine view of
the city and bay, and when contemplated improvements
are made it will become a popular resort
Golden Gate Park-This, the grand park of the me-
tropolis, is three miles long by about half a mile wide
embracing an area of one thousand and thirteen acres'
From Baker Street between Oak and Fell it is approached

long and two hundred and sev3Q*.y-fiye,feet wide. The
Terrace, which is one of the featureG^ of the park, is an-
other approach recently constructed from thef teriiMus of
the Geary Street R. R. It commands a fine vie\v-.hL Ccji-
servatory Valley, and of the grounds towards Strawber.ty
Hill west, while to the north can be seen the Pacific
Ocean and the entrance to the Golden Gate. The original
surface of the park was, to a great extent, a succession of
sand hills partly covered with a growth of stunted shrubs
and trees, presenting a barren appearance. During the
progress of reclamation, commenced in 1871, the greatest
obstacle to improvements has been the drifting sand
blown from the direction of the ocean by the high winds
which at times prevail. This, however, has been to a
great extent checked by the various expedients resorted
to, such as the construction of brush fences near the
ocean beach, and planting of trees and shrubbery. In-
stead of barren sand hills are now to be seen beautiful
avenues and shady walks miles in extent, green lawns,
nurseries and flower gardens, a magnificent conservatory
containing thousands of choice plants, croquet and picnic
grounds, arbors, grottoes, lakes, fountains, etc.— all com-
bined presenting a romantic and picturesque appearance.
The main drive, extending through the park to the ocean
j beach, is a superb road, and is daily traversed by hun-
dreds of carriages and equestrians.
Mountain Lake Park— West of Seventh Avenue
between California Street and Presidio Reservation, em-
braces an area of twenty acres. It is situated on the
shores of a small lake from which it derives its name, and
will, when improved, be an attractive resort.
Pioneer Park— On the summit of Telegraph Hill,
embraces a small area of ground donated to the city by
some liberal citizens. From this point may be obtained
a magnificent view of the bay and city.
In addition to the parks enumerated, there are sixteen
small squares, or plazas, in different sections of the city,
102

some of which hav3 been improved, and present an attract-
ive appearance. Among these may be mentioned Union
Square, bounded by Stockton, Powell, Geary, and Post
Str'o^is:'^''ashington Square, bounded by Stockton, Pow-
ell, Union, and Filbert Streets; and Portsmouth Square,
on Kearny Street between Clay and Washington. The
latter is noted as being the place where the stars and
stripes was raised when the American forces took formal
possession of the town, on the 8th day of July, 1846.

DRIVES.
There are but few cities in the Union where more
attractive and pleasant drives can be found than those
in the immediate vicinity of San Francisco. A view
of the picturesque scenery which a trip over the roads
extending through the suburbs of the city affords can,
owing to the even temperature of the climate, be enjoyed
during all seasons of the year without suffering any in-
convenience from the extremes of heat or cold. One of
the most noted and beautiful drives is over what is
known as Point Lobos Avenue, from the termination of
Geary Street westerly to the Cliff House. It is a smooth
macadamized road, wide enough in places for a dozen
teams abreast. The Cliff House may also be reached by
the way of Geary and intersecting streets to the entrance
to Golden Gate Park, and from thence by a superb road
extending through the park to the ocean beach. On
pleasant days these roads present a gay and animated
appearance, being lined by carriages and buggies passing
to and fro. From the termination of Point Lobos Ave-
nue is a road winding down the cliff, and extending in a
southerly direction along the ocean beach several miles,
until it intersects with one leading to the Ocean House.
From the latter place the homeward trip can be made by
what is known as the Central Ocean House Road, or by
the San Miguel Road, leading to the Mission Dolores,

the intersection of California and Lyon Streets a good

-PT^idio:Reservation to Fort Point. This pa.sses in places
X)\rer elevated ground which commands a magnificent
view of the Golden Gate and Pacific Ocean. Those who
wish to see the eastern and southern portion of the city
should drive from the foot of Fourth Street, over Long
Bridge, and across the Potrero and Islais Creek Bridge
thence through South San Francisco to Bay View, a pretty
locality near the county line. The return trip can be
made by the way of the San Bruno Road and Potrero
Avenue, thus affording a still more extended view of that
portion of the city. Another drive that may be mentioned
is through Mission Street to the San Jose or County Road
which runs in a southerly direction to San Mateo County'
This road passes by St. Mary's College, and near its inter-
section with what is known as the Old Ocean House Road
are located the Industrial School and House of Correction'
The best time for any of these drives is in the morning
-the earlier the better. A person will then escape the
winds and fogs which at certain times of the year pre-
vail during the afternoon and evening.
PRIVATE RESIDENCES.
All large cities have certain favorite localities wliere
wealthy citizens delight to build magnificent homes. In
San Francisco, the sites selected for the erection of pala-
tial residences are, generally speaking, on some of the
elevated plateaus which command a magnificent view of
the bay, city, and surrounding country. On one of these
known as the California Street Hill, or, as it is sometimes
called, Nob Hill, are four residences erected at an im-
mense cost by the railroad millionaires, all located within a
short distance of each other, as follows : Leland Stanford's,
south-west corner of California and Powell; Mark Hop^
GUIDE TO SAX FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 105
kins's, south-east corner of California and Mason; D. D.
Colton's, north-east corner of California and Taylor; and
Charles Crocker's, north-west corner of California and
Taylor. Not far distant from these are the beautiful
residences of Lloyd Tevis, 1316 Taylor Street, James B.
Haggin, south-east corner of Taylor and Washington;
and one erected by W. C. Ralston, on Pine near Leaven-
worth. On Rincon Hill, Sutter and California Streets,
Van Ness Avenue, and throughout what is called the
Western Addition are other elegant homes too numerous
to admit of particular mention.
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.
The following information, gleaned mostly from the
Assessor's Report, and the Annual Review of the "San
Francisco Chronicle," will give an idea of the character
and extent of the various manufacturing enterprises car-
ried on in this city.
San Francisco cannot lay claim to being a manufactur-
ing city in the same sense in which the term is applied to
many of the cities of the East and of Europe. Whatever
manufactures have found a foothold on the Pacific Coast
have been called into life by home demands, which for
many years depended entirely upon imports from the
East and from Europe. It is only within late years that
efforts have been made to encourage manufactures, and
to induce capital to seek investment in that direction.
The field was certainly very inviting, for there was a
large and growing market, not only in California, but
also in Oregon, Washington Territory, Nevada, Arizona,
New Mexico, British Columbia, Mexico, and the islands
of the Pacific, for many goods for the manufacture of
which the raw material was abundant. At present there
are but few branches of the world's industries which are
not represented in San Francisco; and it may be said that
to-day the manufacturing interests of this city are estab-
106 GCroE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.
lished upon a firm basis, and may safely be depended
upon to become an important factor in the development
of the resources of the State.
The industries carried on to the greatest extent as re-
gards value of products and number of persons employed
are the manufacture of boots and shoes, beer, clothing,
cigars, flour, furniture, harness and saddlery, hermeti-
callj'-sealed goods, leather, machinery, sash, doors and
blinds, and woolen goods. From the Assessor's Report it
appears that these various branches give employment
in the aggregate to twenty-four thousand persons, includ-
ing men, women, and children. In the manufacture of
boots and shoes, clothing, and cigars, the Chinese figure
conspicuously. Besides the large number employed in
factories of their own, there are several thousand engaged
in the factories owned by white men. In addition to the
industries enumerated above, there is a rolling-mill, giv-
ing employment to about seven hundred men; two glass-
works, two sugar refineries, one rope-walk, one shot-
tower, gas, wire and wire rope, lead-smelting, white lead,
chemical, glass-cutting, marble, salt, and linseed oil
works, brass-foundries, coffee and spice mills, two exten-
sive provision-packing establishments, and several ship-
yards; also factories for the manufacture of agricultural
implements, axle-grease, barrels, bags, bellows, billiard-
tables, boxes, brooms, brushes, candles, crackers, car-
riages and wagons, cutlery, elevators, fringes, gloves,
glue, hats and caps, hose and belting, ink, ice, jewelry,
lasts, macaroni and vermicelli, matches, mirrors, musical
instruments, oakum, safes, saws, silverware, shirts, soap,
stoves, tinware, type, vinegar, wind-mills, etc., etc.
THE CHINESE DISTRICT.
"What is generally known as Chinatown embraces sev-
eral blocks within the limits of California, Pacific, Kearny,
and Stockton Streets. The buildings on Dupont Street
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 107
from California north to Pacific, also those on Sacra-
mento, Commercial, Clay, Washington, Jackson, and Pa-
cific Streets, from Ivearny west to Stockton, have with
few exceptions been bought or rented by the Chinese.
On all of these streets are numerous stores for the sale of
tea, rice, opium, groceries, fancy goods, clothing, drugs,
etc., as well as establishments for the manufacture of
boots and shoes, slippers, shirts, coarse clothing, cigars,
brooms, and other articles. There are also shops occupied
by carpenters, jewelers, watchmakers, tailors, wood
carvers and engravers, sign and portrait painters, tin-
smiths, butchers, and barbers, who may be seen at all
hours of the day busily engaged in their various pursuits.
The restaurants are all on upper floors, and are generally
decorated with gaudy ornaments suspended in front of
the buildings. Four of the most prominent ones, which
are often visited out of curiosity by white persons, are
located as follows: Hang Fer Low & Co., 713 Dupont
Street; Yung Fong, 710 Jackson Street; Woey San Low,
808 Dupont Street; and Bun Sun Low, 629 Jackson Street.
There are two theatres — the Tan Sung Fung, 623 Jackson
Street; and the BowWah Yiug, at 814 Washington Street.
They are open every day from 2 o'clock p. m, until mid-
night. Price of admission fifty cents, boxes two dollars
and a half. Three newspapers are regularly issued, one of
which is printed partly in the English language. There
are several Joss Houses, or temples of worship, containing
elaborately decorated images and brilliant ornaments in
great profusion. One of the largest and most expensively
fitted up is the Kong Chow, 512 Pine Street. Here may
be seen the image of Quan Kong, who is the only God
worshiped in this temple. According to Chinese history,
Quan Kong was a noted general, who lived over two thou-
sand years ago. He was one of three brothers, the oldest
of whom was the first Emperor of China. He was eleven
feet in height, very stout built, and a great warrior; hon-
est and honorable towards all men. Other gorgeously
108 GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.
fitted up temples are the Hop Wo, 751 Clay Street; Ning
Yong, 230 Montgomery Avenue; Yeong Wo, 730 Sacra-
mento Street; Yan Wo, St. Louis Alley; Tong Wah Meu,
Jackson Street near Stockton; and two, the Sam Yup and
Tin How Meu, on Waverly Place between Clay and
Washington Streets. The Christian Chinese have, in
addition to the mission houses established for them by
the whites, two places of worship of their own, one of
which is located on Stockton Street near Sacramento, and
the other on Clay Street near Prospect Place. Those
worshiping at the latter place are converts to Roman
Catholicism. There are several large and well-organized
companies, each representing a certain district in China,
who have heretofore assumed control over all Chinese
arriving in this city from their respective districts. They
are the Ning Yong Co., Sam Yup Co., Kong Chow Co.,
Hop Wo Co., Shou Hing Co., Yeong Wo Co., Yin Hoi
Co., and Yan Wo Co. Of these the Ning Yong Co. is the
largest, and the Sam Yup Co. the most influential, being
composed of the highest class of merchants. Among the
associations and societies organized by the Chinese are
the Merchants' Exchange Association, who have rooms
at 739 Sacramento Street; and a society called Ghee Kong
Tong, a secret order, who have a hall at 69 Spofford Alley.
Societies have also been organized by the boot-makers,
cigar-makers, clothing-makers, carpenters, barbers, jewel-
ers, actors, and laundrymen, for mutual protection and
the regulation of wages. The number of Chinese in the
city is variously estimated at from 30,000 to 35,000, the
latter figures are probably nearer the mark. Besides
those residing in Chinatown, which is densely populated,
there are many others scattered throughout other portions
of the city. Strangers who desire to see everything of
interest in the Chinese quarters, and learn something of
the manners and customs of this peculiar race, should
employ an interpreter and guide to escort them. One of
these, an intelligent young man by the name of S. Locke,

tue beal Rocks, a favorite rendezvous for sea-lions On
a clear day may also be seen the Farallones, a group of
small islands situated about twenty-five miles distant.
Ihe Cliff can be reached at a trifling expenditure by tak-
ing the Geary Street cars to their terminus on Point lobos
Avenue, which connect at this point with a line of omni-
buses running regularly throughout the day. If a private
conveyance is preferred, it may be reached by several
roads affording splendid drives, the most direct route be-
mg through Geary Street and Point Lobos Avenue.
Fairmount-A pleasant and elevated tract of land
west of the San Jose Eoad, near Thirtieth Street, occupied
principally by families who desire a cheap and quiet home
on the outskirts of the city. Reached by the Market and
Valencia Street cars.
FaraUones-A group of small islands consisting of
the ISorth, Middle, and South Farallon, situated about
twenty-six miles west of the entrance to the harbor
Ihey extend in a direction nearly parallel with the coast
and serve as landmarks to navigators approaching San
Francisco Bay. On the highest point of the South Faral-
lon the Government has erected a lighthouse of the first
order, and about six hundred feet distant near the shore
a fog signal. The islands are frequented by thousands of
sea-hons, some of which are of enormous size. Sea-birds
of different kinds also congregate here in large numbers
some building nests of brush and sea-weeds, %vhile others
lay their eggs on the bare rocks. None of the birds are
considered fit for food, but the eggs of some are collected
m large quantities at certain seasons of the year and sent
to San Francisco for sale. There is no regular communi-
cation with the islands, but parties having a curiosity to
visit them can on a fine day secure the services of a small
sailing vessel to take them there.
Fort Point-Now called by the Government Fort
GUIDB TO SAN FRA2JCISCO AND VICINITY. 133
Winfield Scott, is a fortress situated on the southern
shore of the Golden Gate. (See Military Posts and Forti-
tications.)

Francisco, is a strait about five miles in length and two
miles in average width. A fine view of it can be obtained
from Fort Point and the heights in the vicinity.
Hayes Valley— A portion of the city north of Market
and west of Larkin Streets, which has been known by this
name since early days. It is now laid out in streets and
thickly settled.
Hunter's Point— A long and narrow strip of land in
the extreme south-eastern portion of the city. On this
point is located the California Dry Dock, which will ac-
commodate vessels of the largest class. The cars of the
Potrero and Bay View R. R. convey passengers to within
a short distance of it.
Islais Creek Bridge— Extends from Kentucky Street
on the Potrero to First Avenue, South San Francisco.
The cars of the Potrero and Bay View R. R. pass over it.

GUIDK TO SAN FBANCIgCO IlKD VICENTTY.
Long Bridge— Extends across the mouth of Mission
Creek from the foot of Fourth Street to the Potrero. A
walk over it affords a good view of a portion of the city
and bay.
Mission Dolores-This mission was founded in the
year 1776 by Friars Francisco Palou and Benito Cambon.
Soon afterwards the adobe church which still stands at
the corner of Sixteenth and Dolores Streets was erected,
and has ever since been used as a place of worship. The
following description of the old edifice and churchyard is
taken from the " San Francisco Chronicle."
" Through large swinging doors, over which are three
bells of ancient date, strapped to the rafters by means of
rawhide, one passes into the interior— a long, narrow
room, sufficiently dark to throw a ghostly light upon its
contents, and make the unaccustomed visitor feel slight-
ly uncomfortable. Passing between two rows of seats
one comes to the altar, which has been studiously kept
from harm, and still looks bright and pleasing. The con-
stant repairing has kept the church from falling into
ruin, and it is difficult to credit the story of its age. To
be sure, the plastering is cracked and peeled off in places,
the boards are worn down, and the painting needs re-
newing; but these defects are common to more recently
built churches as well. An accident has recently befall-
en one of the statues of the saints, of which three are
ranged on each of the side walls, it having fallen down
with its pedestal, and for want of better accommodations
bemg now placed upon a wooden chair. The paintings
of the Last Supper and other sacred subjects still adorn
the right-hand wall, but two sections are wanting, no
trace of them having been discovered. The pillars of
the side altars are a little disjointed; but this finishes the
hst of glaring defects. The church-yard is entered through
a small, tumble-down gate to the left of the church. A
more neglected, desolate place it would be hard to find
Here are found graves of which but the vestiges remain
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 135
bearing scarce a semblance to the last resting place of
the dead. True, a few worm-eaten, decayed wooden
pickets, or perchance a rusty iron railing, yet exist;
and a board, bleached by the many years which have
rolled over it, is yet to be found. The marble headstones
have sunk into the ground, or lie in the midst of a con-
fused heap of weeds and rubbish.
" Since the first burial, one hundred and seven years
have rolled by, and thousands have found their last rest-
ing place in the Mission graveyard. The first grave is
Btill well preserved, and one of the few which, though
not taken care of, is not in a state of dilapidation. On a
small cross deeply planted in the ground can still be
read the name of ' Sanchez,' engraved on a silver plate."
Can be reached by the Valencia Street branch of the
Market Street Eailway.
Mountain Lake— A small sheet of water near the
southern boundary of Presidio Reservation.
North Beach— From foot of Powell Street west to
Black Point.
Ocean House— Near Laguna de la Merced, seven
miles south-west of the City Hall. The roads leading to
this place afford pleasant drives, and are much frequent-
ed by pleasure-seekers.
Point Lobos— On the ocean shore a short distance
north of the Cliff House. From a telegraph station lo-
cated here the arrival of inward-bound vessels are tele-
graphed to the Merchants' Exchange. It is reached by
the way of Point Lobos Avenue.
Potrero— This is the name given to that portion of the
city bounded by Channel Street, Potrero Avenue, Islais
Creek, and the bay of San Francisco. In this section are
located the Pacific Rolling Mills, San Francisco Cordage
Factory, California Sugar Refinery, and Potrero Distil-
lery, also other establishments severally engaged in the
manufacture of soap, matches, oleomargarine, animal
charcoal, etc. Can be reached from the foot of Fourth

Street by a walk over Long Bridge, or by the Potrero and
Bay View cars.
Presidio Reservation-Comprises a large area of
land west of Baker Street, fronting on the bay and
ocean. (See Military Posts and Fortifications. )
Rincon Hill-Foot of Harrison Street overlooking
the bay. It is a pleasant section of the city, and contains
some pretty residences.
Russian HHl-The summit of this hill is on the line
of Vallejo Street, between Taylor and Jones. It is one
of the highest points in the city, and affords a magnificent
view of the bay and surrounding country. It can be
conveniently reached by taking the Clay Street Hill cars
to the corner of Leavenworth and Clay, and from thence
by a short walk through Leavenworth and Vallejo Streets
to the summit.
Seal Rooks— Located near the ocean shore, a short
distance south of Point Lobos, is noted for the number of
sea-lions that congregate there. They can be seen at all
times of the day, either clambering over the rugged rocks,
basking in the sun, or sporting in the water. A fine view
of them can be obtained from the Cliff House, at the ter-
mination of Point Lobos Avenue.
South San Francisco - That portion of the city
bounded by Islais Creek, San Bruno Road, San Mateo
County, and the bay. On and near Islais Creek, in what
is known as Butchertown, are several large slaughter-
houses, which supply most of the meat consumed in the
city. There are also a number of manufacturing estab-
lishments in this section, including the California Silk
Factory, several soap works and tanneries, and two
breweries; one of these, the Albion, is owned by Burnell
Brothers, who are extensively engaged in the manufac-
ture of ale and porter, which is said to be equal if not
superior to the best imported. On the shore of the bay
are a number of ship-yards and marine ways, and a dry-
dock of large dimensions. Occupying a beautiful site

near Bay View are the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum
and St. Joseph's Infant Asylum, under the control of the
Sisters of Charity. Can be reached by the Potrero and
Bay View cars, which run at short intervals from the
foot of Fourth Street, or by a pleasant drive via Potrero
Avenue and the San Bruno Koad.
Telegraph Hill— Is a rocky bluff about three hundred
feet in height, situated north of Vallejo and east of Du-
pont Streets. On a clear day the view from its summ^-t is
grand and picturesque, embracing the bay and its ro-
mantic shores, dotted here and there with pretty towns
and hamlets, and in the distance, towering above all, the
conical peak of Mount Diablo, four thousand feet above
sea-level. Looking to the south and west may be seen
a large portion of the city, its busy and noisy thorough-
fares contrasting vividly with the quiet hills and valleys
on the opposite side of the bay; and in a north-westerly
direction the far-famed Golden Gate, enlivened by vessels
of every kind passing to or from the metropolis of the
Pacific. On the top of the hill is a small public square
known as Pioneer Park, and also what is called the Tele-
graph Hill Observatory, where visitors can obtain re-
freshments, and, protected from the winds, enjoy the
beautiful scenery. Can be reached without any great
exertion by taking the North Beach cars to the corner of
Powell and Greenwich Streets, thence by a short walk
through Greenwich Street to the summit.
Visitacion Valley — This is a small and fertile tract
of land on the borders of San Mateo County, extending
from the San Bruno Koad in a westerly direction. It is
occupied principally by persons engaged in growing vege-
tables and dairying.
Yerba Bueua, or Goat Island— Is situated about
midway between San Francisco and the Alameda County
shore. It contains about two hundred acres, and is
owned by the U. S. Government. A few years since, it
attracted considerable attention, owing to an effort made
138 GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITr.
by the Central Pacific R. E. Co. to obtain possession of
it for a railroad terminus. On the island is a workshop,
wliere buoys for the harbors on the coast are manufac-
tured, and on the south-east point is located a lighthouse
and fog signal.
ALAMEDA, OAKLAND, ETC.
Alameda— Alameda County, a pretty suburban town,
situated opposite San Francisco in an easterly direction,
on a strip of land some four miles in length, extending in
peninsular form into the bay. Upon entering the town
the mind is at once impressed with its very romantic
beauty. It has wide and level streets, affording excellent
drives, and the sturdy oak trees, donned with summer
foliage, underspread with greensward, the neat and at-
tractive dwellings surrounded with handsome gardens
and lawns, combined with the pure and healthful atmos-
phere, make it an inviting residence place for the busi-
ness men of San Francisco. Its fine parks and numerous
sea-bathing establishments also make it a favorite place
of resort for pleasure-seekers. It has good public schools,
including a high school, two grammar, and three primary,
which have an average attendance of 1,000 pupils. The
churches, which are well sustained, are represented by
the Baptist, Congregational, Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Methodist, German Eeformed, and Ptoman Catholic de-
nominations. A free library and reading room is main-
tained, having about 2,000 volumes, which is a neat and
inviting resort for those who desire to gratify a literary
taste. There are several secret and benevolent organiza-
tions, including the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Patriotic
Order Sons of America, Independent OrJer of Chosen
Friends, etc. Three well-conducted newspapers are pub-
lished weekly. The number of inhabitants, according to
the census of 1880, was 5,194, but at the present time is
GXJIDE TO SAN FRAKCISCO AND VICINITY. 139
estimated to be 8,500. It is reached via Oakland by the
steamers and trains of the Central Pacific R. K., or via
Alameda Point by the steamers and trains of the South
Pacific Coast B. R. (See Ferry Time-tables, pages 144
and 145 )
Berkeley— Alameda County, situated eleven miles
from San Francisco in a north-easterly direction, occu-
pies a picturesque site on slightly elevated and rolling
ground, commanding a beautiful view of the bay and
Golden Gate. It was incorporated as a town April 1st,
1878, and now contains a population of about 2,500. The
University of California, located in the outskirts of the
town, is a handsome and commodious edifice, surrounded
by beautiful grounds. This institution was incorporated
by an Act of the Legislature in 1868, and is attended by
students from every portion of the State. In the same
vicinity is situated the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Insti-
tute, a fine brick building three stories in height, erected
at a cost, including grounds, of about 3150,000. Several
manufacturing establishments, including oil, starch,
chemical, sulphur, powder, and soap works, also a boot
and shoe factory, give employment to quite a large num-
ber of men. Two newspapers are published weekly;
there is also a magazine and a small paper regularly is-
sued by the students of the University. Two public
schools are maintained, which are well attended. There
are several churches, including two Episcopalian, two
Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Congregational. The
secret societies are represented by lodges of Masons, Odd
Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and Ancient Order of United
Workmen. It is reached via Oakland Ferry and con-
necting trains, which leave West Oakland at short inter-
vals during the day (see Ferry Time-table, page 145), or
via ferry and trains to Broadway, Oakland, and thence
by a line of horse-cars.
Oakland— Alameda County, an incorporated city and
county seat, is situated on the eastern shore of the bay,
140 GUIDE TO SAN TRANCISCO AND VICINITT,
eight miles distant from the city of San Francisco. It
was incorporated as a town May 11th, 1852, and chartered
as a city March 25th, 1854. The place derives its name
from the oak trees which cover the peninsula on which it
is located, and whose delightful groves and romantic
appearance first attracted attention to the spot as being a
desirable place of residence and pleasure resort. The city
is regularly laid out, with broad, macadamized streets,
shaded with trees on either side. Flower-laden gardens
ornament the cottage and the mansion, and handsome
and substantial structures adorn the business thorough-
fares. Xo place has more beautiful suburbs, and its drives
are noted for their extent, variety, and charm. Telegraph
and San Pablo Avenues, extending from the junction of
Broadway and Fourteenth Street to Berkeley, are the
great drive-ways on the north of the city, and from them
radiate roads leading to picturesque localities in the sur-
rounding hills. There are also beautiful drives leading
to Piedmont Springs, a noted resort about four miles in
a north-easterly direction from the City Hall. One of
these is from Broadway through Central Avenue to a
road running along the easterly shore of Lake Merritt, a
pretty sheet of water which is a favorite resort for those
who are fond of boating excursions. From the Piedmont
Springs Hotel, located about four hundred feet above sea-
level, a magnificent view of the bay and surrounding
country is obtained. Near by, in a ravine filled with a
luxuriant growth of trees and shrubbery is a romantic
spot known as Bushy Dell. In this dell are the springs,
three in number, from which flow about eight hundred
gallons per hour of water, strongly impregnated with
sulphur, iron, and magnesia. Other pleasant drives are
to Alameda via the bridge, which extends across San
Antonio ICreekj from the foot of Webster Street, and to
Fruit Vale by a drive through East Oakland to Adams
Avenue and the [San Leandro Eoad. The Mountain
View Cemetery, which is beautifully laid out, and occu-
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 141
pies a picturesque site, should also be visited. It is
reached by a drive through Broadway and "Webster
Street, or by a line of street cars running direct to the
entrance. Besides the natural beauty of the surround-
ings, Oakland lias a most delightful climate. Although
but across the bay, the high winds of San Francisco
diminish here to a light breeze, and the frequent fogs
which roll over that city are hardly susceptible. It is
principally noted as a city of homes, although its selec-
tion as a railroad terminus infused a life current into
the arteries of business, which has made it an impor-
tant emiDorium of trade. The population, according to
the census of 1880, was 34,456, and is now estimated at
40,000. An excellent system of schools is maintained,
both public and private, not to be excelled by any in the
State. There are sixteen public schools, with an average
daily attendance of about 6,000 scholars. Among the
private institutions of learning are Snell's Seminary,
Home Institute, and Convent of Our Lady of the Sacred
Heart for girls, California Military Academy, and St.
Joseph's Academy for boys, and the Pacific Theological
Seminary, an institute of high order, conducted under the
auspices of the Congregational Church. Several well-
conducted daily and weekly journals disseminate the
news of the day. Of societies, there are organized lodges
of Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Red Men,
United Workmen, Patriotic Order Sons of America, and
Chosen Friends, besides a number of others of a social
and benevolent character. The religious element is rep-
resented by churches of the following denominations:
Baptist, Congregational, Episcopal, Methodist, Presby-
terian, Latter Day Saints, Seventh Day Adventists,
Hebrew, and Eoman Catholic. A Free Library and Odd
Fellows Library are maintained, which are well supplied
with books and newspapers. Several manufacturing es-
tablishments, including planing mills, flouring mills, iron
works, potteries, tanneries, etc., and the various shops
142 GUIDE TO SAN FKANCISCO AND VICINITT.
belonging to the Central Pacific R. R. Co., give employ-
ment to a large number of men. An efficient paid fire
department and telegraph fire alarm are maintained.
The city is illuminated with gas by the Oakland Gaslight
Co., and furnished with an abundant supply of good
water by the Contra Costa Water Co. A system of
street railroads traverse the city, and afford cheap and
frequent communication with suburban towns. From
the Broadway station of the C. P. R. R. horse-cars leave
every few minutes for Alameda, East Oakland, Berke-
ley, Temescal, Piedmont Springs, and Mountain View
Cemetery, The overland trains of the Central Pacific R.
R. Co. leave daily, and local trains of this company
leave every half-hour until seven o'clock in the evening,
and thereafter hourly until eleven, for San Francisco.
(See Ferry Time-tables, pages 144 and 145.)
San Quentin— Marin County, is situated on San Quen-
tin Point, twelve miles by water from San Francisco, and
three miles by rail from San Rafael. It is principally
noted as the seat of the State Penitentiary, which is a
substantial brick edifice two hundred and forty by one
hundred and thirty-four feet in dimensions. It contains
within its walls at the present date about two thousand
prisoners. The labor of the convicts is utilized in several
branches of industry, the most prominent of which is the
manufacture of jute bagging. The factory recently erected
for this purpose contains one hundred looms, gives em-
ployment to four hundred convicts, and turns out eight
thousand sacks per day. The place maintains a public
school, which ^has an attendance of about seventy-five
scholars. The village and prison are supplied with gas
and water brought in pipes from San Rafael. Communi-
cation is maintained with San Francisco by water and
San Rafael by rail. (See Ferry Time-table, page 118.)
San Rafael — Marin County, an incorporated town and
county seat, is situated in a small valley of the same
name on the line of the North Pacific Coast Railroad, fif-
GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY. 143
teen miles north-west of San Francisco. It is a beautiful
and picturesque spot, surrounded by an amphitheater of
hills, except at the foot of the valley, where it opens to
the bay. It is nicely laid out with streets lined with
shade trees, and the many fine residences are adorned
with delightful and tastily laid out grounds. Being so
completely sheltered, it is free from wind, dust, and fog,
and has an almost semi-tropical climate. It is but a short
and pleasant ride from San Francisco, and the rare ad-
vantages it offers for a suburban home have been availed
of by many of the business men of that city. Its health-
ful climate also makes it an excellent resort for invalids,
and its park, gardens, and romantic nooks and retreats
make it an attractive place for the pleasure-seeker. The
town has a population of about 2,5C0 inhabitants. Three
public schools are maintained, having an attendance of
about 300 scholars. The secret and benevolent societies
are the Masons, Odd Fellows, United Workmen, Legion
of Honor, and Good Templars. The religious denomina-
tions represented are the Episcopal, Presbyterian, Meth-
odist, and Roman Catholic. The town contains a hand-
some court-house, erected at a cost of 670,000. It is
surrounded with grounds tastily laid out with trees,
shrubbery, lawns, and tropical plants. The Son Rafael
Gas Co. supplies the town with light, and excellent water
is distributed by the Marin County AVater Co. Com-
munication is maintained with San Francisco several
times a day (see Ferry Time-table, page 118), and with
Duncan's Mills daily by the trains of the North Pacific
Coast R. R., and twice a day with Cloverdale and inter-
mediate points by the trains of the San Francisco and
North Pacific R. R.
Saucelito — Marin County, occupies a pleasant site on
the bay-shore six miles in a northerly direction from the
city of San Francisco. Its picturesque surroundings and
balmy climate, it being almost free from the high winds
which often prevail in the city, make it a favorite resort
144 GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.
for picnic parties and otlier pleasure-seekers. From the
village extend several roads and paths leading to roman-
tic spots in the vicinity, where, on pleasant days, particu-
larly on Sundays, may be seen hundreds of visitors from
the city, rambling over the green sward and througli the
pretty groves, or climbing to the summit of the hills to
obtain a view of the enchanting scenery. Previous to the
discovery of gold, what is now known as old Saucelito
was frequented by whalers and other vessels that entered
the harbor for supplies of water and fuel. The trains of
the North Pacific Coast R. Pt. leave daily for Point Eeyes
and intermediate stations, and a steamer maintains com-
munication with San Francisco (see Ferry Time-table,
page 118).
